Abstract

Purpose Housing provides constructed space for human activities. Literature indicates that housing impacts wealth, education attainment and health outcomes, among others. Because of its contributions to society, it is essential to develop and implement strategies that address the housing shortage experienced in most cities across the globe. This study aims to unpack the factors affecting housing production in the UK and chart the way forward. Design/methodology/approach In addressing this study's aim, an interprivitst approach was adopted and semi-structured interviews were conducted with 18 experienced professionals. Data were collected across the four nations of the UK (England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland). Findings The results indicated that the opportunistic behaviour of stakeholders is one of the main factors affecting housing production in the study area. Also, modern construction methods, collaborative practices, government intervention and affordable housing schemes were identified as key strategies for addressing housing production factors. Practical implications This study identified strategies for mitigating housing production issues that provide a focal point to all stakeholders keen on filling the housing shortage gap and improving productivity to channel their resources and effort accordingly. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is one of the first to empirically analyse the influencing factors on the housing gap in the UK from the perspective of the supply side to provide information that could lead towards closing the said gap.

英国住房差距缩小:影响因素及前进方向探讨
住宅为人类活动提供了建构空间。文献表明,住房影响财富、受教育程度和健康结果等。由于其对社会的贡献,制定和实施解决全球大多数城市住房短缺问题的战略至关重要。本研究旨在揭示影响英国住房生产的因素,并绘制未来的道路。设计/方法/方法为了达到本研究的目的,采用了访谈法,并对18位经验丰富的专业人士进行了半结构化访谈。数据是在英国的四个国家(英格兰、威尔士、苏格兰和北爱尔兰)收集的。结果表明,利益相关者的机会主义行为是影响研究区住房生产的主要因素之一。此外,现代建筑方法、合作实践、政府干预和经济适用房计划被确定为解决住房生产因素的关键战略。实际意义本研究确定了缓解住房生产问题的策略,为所有热衷于填补住房短缺缺口和提高生产力的利益相关者提供了一个焦点,以相应地引导他们的资源和努力。原创性/价值据作者所知,本研究是第一个从供应方的角度实证分析英国住房差距影响因素的研究之一,以提供可能导致缩小上述差距的信息。
